That insinuation is "new on me" and if it it did actually happen you are looking at an insignificant item in the overall scheme of things during a referendum period that had very little of this kinda stuff that the RW press/media were hoping to use against the nationalist cause - it is what they do shamelessly and even make it up on occasions to suit their agenda, in this case a unionist one. Lotsa Scots quickly wisened to this crass technique of reporting events. Hillsborough and Liverpool anyone!?

All of the media has an agenda though.

The BBC are seem to be Pro-Tory but Anti-Labour. ITV comes across as Pro-Tory. Only news programme is Channel 4 who seem to be impartial.

The Guardian/Observer is a liberal newspaper which seems to be catered for the middle class metropolitan elite in London and hipsters and majority of it seems to be opinion pieces and not news.

Daily Express, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph are Pro-Tory and Anti-Labour. I think the Sun could come into that as well.

Daily Mirror is more Pro-Labour but more centre-left Labour not Corbyn's Labour.

The Morning Star is so left wing its more left wing than Corbyn.

Daily Express is now owned by The Mirror Group so will be interesting to see if they become less Tory.

The i newspaper is news without the daily celeb gossip and gets straight to the point but even that is starting to become a bit middle class with its columnists opinions.

In my opinion there needs to be a newspaper which is impartial and tells the news as it is, a newspaper for the people by the people.

The media tells us what to think, how to think and which way to vote and there are people out there who actually don't realise how they're being played for fools. I wouldn't class them as guillable but misled. I read several news websites and newspapers and then form my own opinion about topics or subjects but there are people out there who don't do that. They will read one newspaper and believe that it's word is gospel.
